@muchan: Thanks for your input. Now the touchpad reacts much faster. Even a little bit too fast. Now I have to figure out the right settings. Strange is though that I didn't need the settings file before the dist upgrade.

@hubi: Do you mean the mouse settings in KDE systemsettings? Unfortunately they have no effect on the speed. Or do I have to install some certain package to get a special touchpad configuration in systemsettings?

The package is kde-config-touchpad, however, it only allows a maximum speed of 2.

I had the same issue. The above speeded it up quite a bit, I"m adjusting on it now....@ sordon let me know if you come up with new settings that seem better and I'll do the same

Actually isn't there already "xorg.conf.d" file in hal for this?? Does that one make no difference now?

Now I tried it myself.
As root, created /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d directory
# mkdir /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
then with text editor, created the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf
with this contents:

I noticed when I updated that it was recommended to install gpointing-device-settings. (I use xfce and the xfce4-mouse-settings was no longer working). I installed gpointing-device-settings, tweaked, and all was good again.

I can confirm that hubi's advice worked after installing the kde-config-touchpad. @ towo Thanks I actually meant the file 51-symaptics-aptosid.conf file. Sorry for the confusion
